Just when I think i've ran out of good melodic-tinged deathcore with some blackend influences... that was awesome, downloading it now. The name is definitely misleading, but the music is pretty awesome, I liked that last song... almost sounded like they had some mongolian instrument in the background but I have no idea what the hell those things are called.

just wondering what is everyone's thoughts on the new album hate by thy art is murder?

I thought it was pretty good, though it seems like they abandoned some of the technical riffing on The Adversary in favor of more djent-style breakdowns... one reviewer called the Reign of Darkness single "Emmurecore" which may be a bit harsh, haha. Still, I'm enjoying it. What do you think?

Amia Venera Landscape, a six-piece Italian post-metal/metalcore band that I really love. Their vocals remind me a lot of August Burns Red; very angry and aggressive and that's just how I love my vocals.

i only listened to it once but i heard its a grower but i am enjoying it so far with the one listen while i liked their first album this one so far sounds a bit heavier and a bit more experimental(not too much on either front but enough to make me like it more) lol that is a bit harsh but some bits of it does sound a bit Emmucoreish but i am still enjoying it listening to it for a second time just now, and there is plenty of groove which i enjoy

A quick question here, wich core bands do you know that play in the format of a trio? Only guitar, bass and drums, but most importantly, that records its music as a trio, no riff with 3rd/5th/7th armonies, no programmed keys or anything like that.

Yeah, I'd call them symphonic deathcore, with a few prog/djent moments thrown in. If you know them then you probably know 7 Horns 7 Eyes as well, which is one of the best prog metal bands out there right now that I would heartily recommend everyone on this board to check out.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BiTFadkhU4

7 Horns 7 Eyes is awesome. They're coming to my town in february I believe.

All of you prog/tech/melodic deathcore lovers absolutely HAVE to check out The HAARP Machine. It's been a LONG time since a band has wowed me like them. Pretty much they're a proggy technical melodic deathcore band. Really complicated guitar work and some pretty awesome drumming. It takes a long time for their music to get old. I think the biggest complaint about them is that they use cleans. They're mostly harshes but there's still enough cleans to not be ignorable. I like them though. Also, the frontman, Abdullah, is middle eastern and as a result has used the Phrygian Dominant scale a healthy amount on the record (for those who don't know that much theory, that means the music will sound somewhat middle eastern in some sections, usually the cleans).

This song has all of their angles. Faster, techy parts, and softer, proggier parts with cleans. Esoteric Agenda, Lower the Populace, and The Escapist Notion are all songs to pick other than From Vanity to Utility if you want faster, more extreme parts.

Does anybody know any djent/progressive metalcore that has a clean vocalist that sounds like John Arch of Fates Warning? In case you don't know him, he's got a bit of a nasallyvoice but he's got a great deal of control and is one of my favorite vocalists. I've discovered a few djent bands that have clean chorus which really remind me of him. Mainly Textures and especially this Tesseract track. The singing/melodies from 3:12 to about 4:00 on that last track is exactly what I'm interested in. Can you guys feel the similarities? Got any recommendations? Bonus points for if they have harsh vocals too.

Ok, I see I was not clear enough, I'll try to reformulate. It just really a request.

It a kind of a reverse rec, instead of asking for (good and original) bands that sound like that one, I want the opposite, I want (good and original) that don't sound like it.

Why? Well, apart from some prejudices, deathcore is known amidst metalheads as unoriginal and unimaginative, so I want to pass through that prejudice by actually listening to some original and creative deathcore.

Here's one for you: Aegaeon. They're a mix of Brutal Deathcore and Atmospheric Deathcore. I have yet to see a band like them. (You have to listen to the entire album and the interlude tracks to really see the atmospheric parts).

You know about Aversions Crown? I fell in love with their awesome music-/lyricvideo. One of the best I've seen ever! They're deathcore, btw, somewhat similar to Thy Art Is Murder and Aegaeon, if you ask me.Aversions Crown - Overseerhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxy7F9EmDR0

Can anyone recommend any bands that sound like Underoath's "Cries of the Past"? I remember hearing "The Last" off of at the album when I was like 12-13, back in Underoath's hey-day. I hated them, and couldn't believe my ears that "The Last" was so good!

Also, preferably without all of the "I LOVE YOU JESUS" parts.

Also, I've been listening to Darkest Hour lately, who are quite good.

So there's two bands I just started listening to so I thought I would mention them here. Last chance to reason is pretty much spacey prog deathcore with heavy keyboard use and some clean vocals:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rxnTPfyoTY. Abiotic is literally just chuggy deathcore with tech riffs added, but it doesn't really matter because it's so good at what it's trying to do:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuz-Rtce6KA
